SPARK BLANKING APPARATUS FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

A spark prevention apparatus during the exhaust stroke of a four-stroke-cycle internal combustion engine is claimed. A valve operating assembly operates an intake or an exhaust valve. A switch is electrically connected to a primary winding of the engine and actuated by the valve operating assembly such that either the primary winding is electrically connected to ground during the exhaust stroke or the primary winding is electrically connected to an energy storage device during the exhaust stroke.
